"You can wear that dress again!" <-- Those of us that have played the bridesmaid, have heard that one before!

Just a little bling - handpainted, turquoise feathers to desert blue.

In this case, you can wear the jewelry again - I really do think so (at least I would!) I had the pleasure of creating 6 earring and bracelet sets - all the same but a little different. The most striking blue color - I am hoping I get to see a picture of them in action when all is said and done.

Two tone turquoise and desert blue.

The same but different.

Are you a bride? Do you know a bride? Contact me for more information about custom bridesmaids' jewelry. Not a bride? contact me anyway. Many of my pieces can be created in custom colors and I would love to work with you.

Adorn is reopening this weekend after a devastating fire in early January. I stopped in yesterday to drop off some jewelry, the store is looking a-mazing. Inventory was just being moved in that day, yet I managed to walk away with 2 new things... ?

Nifty jewelry display going to Adorn - made from a picture frame
and a cut up Ikea curtain (background fabric).

Nicole and Ethan are back better than before { I knew they would be }. It's one of those places where I never feel overwhelmed, I know I am going to find something great - someone has already done the hard work and has narrowed it down - I'm seeing the great stuff { note to you tall girls - prairie underground - nice long arms - the sleeves hit the middle of my hand kind-of-long }. It just feels good to shop in there. You must go...

other miscellany.

If you didn't see it, I won't let you miss it - lovely Becky from Buckets of Burlap is wearing my jewelry. Isn't she pretty? Becky's vintage farmhouse is swoon-worthy (so is her ability to take pictures). I first found her blog via the Where Bloggers Create series last August.

I'm getting a little better at the picture of "self" thing. Next week, I'll work on adding smiling, while posing, while taking a picture, while not pulling a muscle in my arm.

My outfit today was a usual - gap perfect boot jeans and a jcrew vintage tshirt over a black tank top { working at home, quick stop to drop off earrings at Adorn, driving kids in the afternoon }. I shower at night, so in the a.m., my hair is usually it's true self - on the flat side and straight (and forward). I am fortunate (and not so, sometimes) to have VERY thick hair. It does what it wants to do. Usually I use a flat iron all the way around and flip it a bit. Today, I liked the forward bang look, so I decided to go with it. I only curled the back (uh, bed head). I resisted the urge to flat iron and style my bangs to the side { see my profile pic } - which usually includes a battle with a natural cowlick.

Today I wore bangs.

Addicted to chapstick, I am. Now in love with Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer.
Wearing Peony.

LOL. Attempting a serious picture - but good shot of the angle of my hair!

And of course I have to show you my earrings.

Have you ever had an accidental hairstyle that stuck? This might actually stick for me for a while.

About Me

I’m a farm girl at heart... my horses shared a barn with my dad’s car projects. I do love a bit of rusty metal, chippy paint, the smell of an old pickup. I also have the-ability-to-find-amazing-things-on-craigslist superpowers. A wife and mother of 2, life is a good kind of busy. I love designing my spaces and the art of presentation as much as I enjoy creating jewelry. This blog is a little bit of everything that I love. { more }
